The Nicolesy 52 Photo Challenge topic for week 6 is “Framing”. Either a natural frame around the subject captured in camera, or a frame added to the photo in post-processing. The blue bottle was a new photo that I took specifically for this challenge, even though it’s not a new […]
I bought this flag and flagpole from Colonial Flag, in Sandy, Utah. I really like it because the top half of the pole where the flag is attached rotates so that the flag doesn’t get tangled up when the wind blows. The flagpole I had before didn’t have that cool […]
“Textures” was the week 5 theme for Nicolesy’s 52 Photo Challenge. There were some very interesting photos submitted by the other photographers. I wasn’t as ambitious. The puzzle texture is from “The Beatles” puzzle that I put together a few years ago and then had glued and framed. The other […]
The week 4 Nicolesy 52 photo challenge is “Motion Blur”. Here are a few examples of photos that I have taken applying this concept. Ellie’s artwork and the “shut the box” game photos are those I took this week and submitted for the challenge. The other photos weren’t taken for […]

Kyson’s 100-day’s til Halloween chain, Ellie’s paint brushes, a sunrise I saw on the K10 while on my way to pick up Ellie and some trees and a squirrel for Fall
While visiting Family and Friends in Salt Lake City last week, I had the chance to head over to Liberty Park and go in to the Tracy Aviary. I hadn’t been there in quite a long time. I only captured photos of the birds that weren’t in cages.
I was able to get a walk in after the rain stopped and before it started again. When it did start again, there was a lot of lightning. I thought about what it would be like to get hit by lightning; but was very glad that I didn’t find out. […]
The walk was in our neighborhood in Olathe, Kansas. The drive was through Kansas City, Missouri and Olathe, Kansas.
Friday was Papa Ralph’s birthday. He would have been 84 years old. Hippy bird day, Papa Ralph! I was able to capture a sunrise for his birthday (the one on the left) and then another sunrise this morning.
